100% Positive Feedback?

[Rickdogg]

Although the percentage is the same if you round off up to 1000th of a percent. That formula is flawed past that decimal place

[Kevin Boyd]

You have completely confused me. Here's how I got mine to match:

 

I have 479 total feedback responses (including multiple feedbacks from unique individuals).

 

476 positives divided by 4.79 = 99.37....

 

If I were to take UNIQUE responses:

 

358 unique buyer/seller responses

 

355 positives divided by 3.58 = 99.16...

 

Since the first number corresponds with the 99.4% that e-bay is saying I have then I would say that it is based on the total feedback received, not your unique feedback received.

Kev,

 

In your case it is 99.4% because:

 

355 (Unique Postives)

--------- (divided by)

357 (Unique positives and negatives)

 

= 99.439 %

[Kevin Boyd]

Are you sure? Why doesn't the neutral count?

 

Kev

[Rickdogg]

Neutrals are left out of the equation. I have 301 unique positives and 1 neutral and my rating is 100%

[ArAich]

100 - (N/P x 100) = percentage

 

100 - (2/355 x 100)

 

100 - (.005633802 x 100)

 

100 - .5633802 = 99.4366198

 

percentage = 99.4

 

Works for me???

[Rickdogg]

For example...here's comgeek's feedback rating

 

1048 (Unique Positives)

-------

1056 (Unique negatives & Positves)

 

= 99.2% Comgeek

 

I remember reading this in an email that ebay sent me regarding this system change. Neutrals are for sure not added into the total

[Rickdogg]

Hehehe, yeah it is the same

 

Hmm wait let me check again.

[ArAich]

Like they say..."same thing, just differant"...

[Rob]

I've never seen so many people work so hard to figure out a simple percentage.

[Rickdogg]

Your formula is off just slightly, but wouldn't effect most of us since our feedback isn't that high to begin with

 

355/357 = 99.4397759

 

Using your formula you got: 99.4366198

 

This slight error wouldn't matter unless we worked for NASA or have over 1million feedbacks

 

[ArAich]

Your formula is off just slightly, but wouldn't effect most of us since our feedback isn't that high to begin with

 

Oh yeah...well maybe your formula is off slightly....

 

And I use to be a rocket scientist...

[Darthdiesel]

I would trust the Asian when it comes to figuring out math

Rick, I assume you saw Steve's latest neg. A guy who is unregistered and whose hobby appears to be collecting $5 girly photos suddenly bids almost $3k on a Daredevil #1. Now that is hilarious. That is why viewing percentages only can be very misleading.

[greggy]

Yeah, but the $3000 bidder did not affect the final total. The person who was the runner-up has been buying CGC Daredevils recently. So...his shilling argument is quite weak. He was the guy who sniped the runner-up at the end.

[Mushroom]

Fair comment.
